Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 827
"My lord, Huang Chou'er has escaped."

Guo Shiheng came to report with a knife.

At this time, Wang Shichong's face was full of purple, and his blood was surging all over his body.With only [-] defeated soldiers, they forcibly captured Wuguan, which was guarded by more than [-] Li Yuanji.

"Forget it, let's run away. Hurry up and control Guancheng, don't let him kill the carbine."

Wang Shichong asked people to count the arsenal and granaries, and at the same time asked people to reorganize all the Wuguan Tang soldiers who had been defeated and captured into their own army.

"Hurry up and send someone to report to Luoyang and tell Luo Cunxiao that I, Wang Shichong, have defeated Li Yuanji and captured Wuguan, the gate of Guanzhong, and are willing to lead the soldiers to dedicate the pass to Daqin."

Yang Wang said, "We've captured Wuguan now, or we just don't bother to vote for Luo Cheng. Let's use this as a basis to continue to attack counties and counties, and make a comeback."

Wang Shichong shook his head.

He had Luoyang City in his hand back then, and he failed to win the entire Henan Province, so there is no chance for him to make a comeback now.In this world, the general trend is set.

"Forget it, it's meaningless to toss about any more. Besides, many of our brothers' families are still in Luoyang City."

Dong Jun offered advice and said, "Li Yuanji was newly defeated and fled to Shangluo with only a few hundred people. I think that since we plan to vote for Qin, then we should simply find a way to grab more cities and lands. It’s also more beautiful, and you can get more rewards then?”

"Yes, before Li Yuan can react, let's attack in three directions, sweep Shangzhou all the way, drive Li Yuanji back to Guanzhong, attack Xiyang and Hongnong all the way, it would be even better if we can take down Nanyang."

Although Wang Shichong had only [-] defeated soldiers, these [-] defeated soldiers were the most elite troops under Wang Shichong's command. This army is still very elite and capable of fighting, otherwise it would be impossible to capture Wuguan all at once.

Now that more than [-] soldiers from the Tang army have been surrendered, and Li Yuanji has been defeated and fled, the counties outside the pass are indeed empty.

"Alright."

Wang Shichong nodded, so he sent people to Luoyang to meet Luo Cunxiao in a hurry, and at the same time divided his troops to attack all sides.

Changan.

After Li Yuan got the good news of Li Shimin's victory in Qianshuiyuan and the [-] soldiers brought back by Li Shimin, the situation in Guanzhong became stable again.

He sent Li Shimin to lead [-] soldiers and horses to guard Tongguan personally.

Then he sent Li Xiaogong, who performed extremely well in the last war, to lead an army of [-] out of Sanguan to strengthen the Bashu Hanzhong area, and to forcefully control those vacillating states and counties.

He also asked the Bashu Han to pay taxes, money and food to Guanzhong, and send troops to guard the capital.

"Xiaogong, it's a pity that I didn't follow your advice when it was completed last time, otherwise there would not be such a big defeat. Fortunately, Shimin defeated Xue Ju, and now Chai Shao and Xiaoliang are victorious in Longyou, and the Longyou prefectures have begun Safe and stable. So now that we have cleared Guanlong, the next step is to stabilize Bashu and compete with Luo Cheng for the world. Bian is not completely loyal to Chang'an now. Many local officials and powerful gentry are vacillating. It is necessary for the court to send a general to deter the guard. I have chosen you. Although you are young, you have excellent vision and strategy. I believe in you It can stabilize Bashu and other places, making it a stable rear of the imperial court, and can continuously provide soldiers, money and food for the imperial court."

Li Xiaogong received the order.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's entrustment."

Li Xiaogong even suggested to Li Yuan that after he pacified Bashu, he would build warships upstream and train soldiers, and then he could go down the river to attack Xiao Xian in the Jianghan area, and then take advantage of the trend to take Jiangnan and Huainan.

"Okay, since you have such ambitions, I will naturally use you more. I will now appoint you as the ambassador of Shannan and Jiannan, and the governor of Yizhou!"

"Jewel King Zhaojun!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Although Luo Cheng is gaining momentum now, in Li Yuan's view, he still has the ability to compete in the world.As long as he can control Bashu in his hands, he will use Guanlong as the foundation and supply the army with money and food from Bashu.

The second son Qin Wang Shimin led the army to fight for Henan, Zhaojun Wang Xiaogong to fight for Jianghan, and then Li Shentong to Pinghexi Shuofang, there is a great opportunity to repeat the history of Yuwentai's success in Guanzhong.

At this time, Li Yuan had already emerged from the shadow of Li Jiancheng's Hongnong defeat.

He sat on the couch, pinched his chin with his hand, and smiled in his eyes.

"When you pacify Bashu and take down Jianghan, I will use you to pacify Jianghuai and settle Lingnan. At that time, I will also make you the king of Zhao, grant you ten thousand households food, and give you thousands of hectares of fertile land."

This promise made Li Xiaogong excited.

"Back then, Yu Wentai and Gao Huan fought for hegemony. Gao Huan occupied the most affluent Kanto land in the world. He had a strong army and a large territory. He always fought against Yu Wentai, but in the end, it was Yuwen's family who won the world. We Now according to relevant records, the Li family has destroyed the Xue family in Longyou, and now they are in danger of four fortresses, eight hundred miles away from Qinchuan, and they are in an invincible position."

Li Xiaogong felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Yuan's words, Guan Long was indeed Wang Ba's foundation, and this place was extremely dangerous.

"Your Majesty, I believe that although the four fortresses of Tongguan, Wuguan, Xiaoguan, and Sanguan are dangerous, we should not just stick to them. Especially now that the Qin army is powerful, our Tang Dynasty should unite with many parties, especially in the land of Hedong, Taiyuan. It is the most important thing, and it must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise it will be difficult to secure in Guanzhong."

"You are right. I have decided to send Yuan Ji to Taiyuan to replace Xiao Yu and Yang Yichen."

In fact, if Hongnong had not been defeated before, Li Yuan's original plan was to let Jiancheng take over the military power of Xiao Yu and Yang Yichen after Henan's victory, and let the Li family control the important area of ​​​​Hedong.

After all, Xiao Yu is the brother of Empress Xiao, and Yang Yichen is the adopted son of the Sui Dynasty clan. These two people will definitely not have one heart with him, so his plan is to seize the military power of the two before accepting Zen, and take over Hedong.

But who expected that Hongnong would be defeated.

"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness King Qi is extremely brave, he can be quite reckless. Taiyuan is such an important city, and it might not be good to entrust it to him. Please think again, Your Majesty."

Li Yuan frowned dissatisfied.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

A servant exclaimed outside.

Li Yuan got up, but saw Qi Wang Li Yuanji rushing into the hall unexpectedly.

"Father."

Li Yuan said angrily, "You are not guarding Wuguan, why did you return to Beijing without authorization and even broke into the palace?"

Li Yuanji knelt in front of Li Yuan, hugging his thigh.

"Father, that thief Wang Shichong rebelled, and he took Wuguan."

Li Yuan only felt dizzy for a while.

He also said just now that he would send Li Yuanji to Taiyuan, Hedong. Li Xiaogong said that Yuanji was too reckless to make him think twice. lost.

"You...you...rebellious son!"

Li Yuan pointed at Yuan Ji, his hands trembling for a long time, and finally he could only say these few words.
